Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 21

Waiting for Baishou to go to the market.Wanwan ate half of the pie by himself, tidied up the house, and swept the yard. Feeling a little sleepy, he closed the door and went back to sleep.

Baishou took the prey and went directly to the back door of the restaurant, and waited until the shopkeeper Yu was free before the waiter called him in, and after a while he happily left through the back door of the restaurant with the silver.

Not only did they sell the prey today, but the restaurant also bought the bamboo shoots dug by Wanwan yesterday. The shopkeeper also said that this kind of wild ones are rarely sold, and they can be sold for a good price when used for cooking.

After selling the prey and buying some meat, he walked around the street and found nothing to buy. Then Baishou left the market and walked slowly back. It was almost noon when he got home.

As soon as he went up the slope, he saw a person sitting outside the fence in his yard.

Baishou was wondering, and then she saw Wanwan walking out of the house, the visitor immediately stood up when she saw Wanwan, and handed over the things in her hand, and only then did she see clearly the rattan in the visitor's hand There are three fish on a skewer.

Wanwan happened to see Baishou on the slope, and waved to him: "Are you back?"

Hearing this, looking back in the next life, she was startled when she saw the stern-faced Baishou, she stepped away from Baishou five feet away, and then stared at him cautiously.

Baishou glanced at him expressionlessly, seeing that his daughter-in-law was fine, she carried the meat into the courtyard.

In the next life, he stretched his neck and glanced at Baishou who had disappeared outside the kitchen, and was sure that Baishou would not come out again to chase him away. He immediately lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Wan looked surprised.

Even a fool with an abnormal mind knows that he is afraid of Baisong?When she came up with two fish in the next life, she said it and said it was fierce, but he just refused to leave.If I knew it earlier, I would have scared him with a hundred songs.

In fact, after leaving the river yesterday, Lai Sheng did not go back, but went to the mountain again. When he came down, Wan Wan was frying fish. The strange smell of fish made his mouth water, but he was afraid of Bai Shou and dared not go in.

As a result, I saw Baishou went to the market early in the morning, so he hurried to the riverside with a fork and started spearing fish. He could have fished quickly, but it was all because of Li's stuttering. It was to talk to him, and to wash clothes by the river, scaring away all his fish.Otherwise, he would have eaten delicious fish at this time!
Sitting alone by a tree and sulking in the afterlife.I secretly made a note of Li Jieba in my heart.When he picks Ye Xiang next time, he will pour it all on his trousers.

Humph……

In the kitchen, Baishou put the meat on the stove, glanced outside, and asked, "What is he doing there?"

Wanwan smiled helplessly, and told him the matter.

When she woke up, she saw the next life sitting outside the yard, and kept telling her: Fish, fish, I want to eat fish...

After hearing the words, Baishou was silent for a moment, and said, "Give it to him!"

Wanwan glanced at Baishou who was chopping firewood silently in the yard, and Laisheng was sitting far away watching him vigilantly.Turn around and get busy.

Wash the fish first, cut the ingredients, make a lot of small slits on the fish as usual, then spread the seasonings one by one, light the fire, wait until the pot is hot, brush oil on the bottom of the pot, and then throw the fish in .Because pepper and green onion are added today, the fish is more fragrant than yesterday's.

The next life smelled the fragrance outside the yard, and he sniffed vigorously.Is this fish offal so fragrant?Standing for a while, sitting down again for a while, with his neck stretched out.

Baishou stood in the yard and glanced at the probing future life, the corner of his mouth twitched, the dishes cooked by his wife were delicious, no one in the village could compare to them.If he wasn't here today, this kid must have rushed in to pester his wife.

Humph, luckily he's here.Then he stared out again in dissatisfaction.

Laisheng shrank his neck, lowered his head and stared at the ground honestly.

After a while, Wan Wan came out, and his neck stretched out again in the next life.

I saw Wanwan talking to Baishou, but I didn't see the fish, and I stood outside the yard and looked at her eagerly in my next life.

After Baishou finished sharpening the bamboo sticks, Wanwan went into the kitchen again with the things.

In the next life, he pursed his mouth aggrieved and sat down again.

After a while, I saw Wanwan approaching with three fish on a bamboo stick.

Lai Sheng's eyes lit up, and the fragrant fish smell hit his nostrils. It was a scent he had never smelled before, and it was more fragrant than the food from the big restaurants in the town.The golden fish body is still glowing with oil.

Afterlife stared at the three fish and swallowed hard.

"No, I cooked everything for you. Do you want to taste it?" Wanwan smiled and handed him the fish.

Laisheng licked his mouth, wiped his hands on his clothes involuntarily, took one of the bamboo sticks with a fish on it, and took a small bite on the fish, his eyes suddenly swelled up to the size of copper bells, and he chewed twice , swallowed hurriedly, immediately frowned, straightened his neck, swallowed twice and then coughed vigorously.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Wanwan looked at his uncomfortable look and asked concerned, don't you get stuck by a fishbone?
In the next life, he coughed twice and felt all right again, giggled a few times, then took a big bite of the fragrant golden fish, turned around without saying anything, and swaggered down the mountain.He was so anxious that he shouted from behind: "There are fish bones, eat slowly, remember to spit out the bones..."

Baishou just stood in the yard and said sullenly: "He is so old and knows what to do."

"Isn't he out of his mind? If he gets stuck and his brain gets sick again, wouldn't our good intentions hurt people?" Wan Wan said.

"Don't worry about that, he catches fish in the river all year round."

Wanwan thought of Laisheng's fast and accurate spearfishing in the river yesterday.Turning around, I found that there were still two fried fish in my hand: "What should I do with this fish?"

"Let's eat by ourselves."

After the two of them finished their meal, Wanwan cut the pork that Baishou had bought into pieces and began to boil lard. If you want pancakes, you must use oil.

Baishou weaves bamboo sieves in the yard.After the lard was boiled, she put it in a newly bought earthenware pot, and this time added a few peppercorns in it.

Now that we have peppercorns, garlic, onions, and peppers, we can basically start making pancakes, but Wanwan wants to make pancakes that are softer.The method of this era will not work.This requires fermenting the noodles, but there is no yeast or baking powder in this era. There is only one way, and that is to make old noodles.

To do this, use the fermented glutinous rice bought by Baishou, scoop out a small ball of flour, add water and mix well with the fermented glutinous rice, knead it well, put the dough in a bowl, and put it overnight, the dough will ferment automatically.

Baishou watched from the side and kept praising her, and finally asked her: "Daughter-in-law, do you know so many things?"

"Occasionally, I heard some old people say it, some of them were discovered when I went up the mountain before." Wanwan said quite indifferently.

This is to explain why she knows the magical effect of peppercorns and saponins.As for the practice of old noodles, it is still in modern times. I heard it from a grandmother in a yard before.

How can Baishou think so much, anyway, what the wife said is right.In this family, he takes his daughter-in-law's lead in everything.

After kneading the flour, Wanwan grabbed another handful of plant ash and threw it into a large bowl filled with water. He stirred it with his fingers to make the plant ash sink to the bottom, then covered it and left it overnight.The next day, knead the noodles with clear water of plant ash. If there is driftwood on it, just use gauze to leak it.This is equivalent to adding alkali to flour now, which can neutralize the acidity of old noodles.This is an old, old and effective method.
